Produktinformationen zu „Islam and Democracy “
This volume breaks new ground by harnessing the views of seventeen distinguished scholars from a range of disciplines who are addressing key questions surrounding the tensions between fundamental ideas of international law, post-colonial and feminist thought on the one hand and Sharia law and protection of belief on the other.
Klappentext zu „Islam and Democracy “
This volume breaks new ground by seeking to identify and focus on the challenges faced by any attempt to integrate democratic principles within the broad framework of Islamic thought and practice. It does so by harnessing the views of seventeen distinguished scholars from a range of disciplines who not only provide their own perspectives, but actively engage with the views of other contributors, thus producing arguments and synergies which are both erudite and convincing. The volume¿s first section ¿Islam and Democracy¿ tackles head on the often-contested assertion that Islam is incompatible with democracy, because political authority in Islamic societies derives its legitimacy from scriptural not secular injunctions. This is followed by a discussion of the often-contentious issue of ¿Islam and Sharia Law¿ leading into the examination of the vexed issue of ¿Islam and the West.¿ Finally, the volume fosters the underdeveloped, but blatant question of womanhood and ¿gender within Islam.¿
